Lovely stuff. A Vatican spokesperson claims that the lifting of the excommunication is kosher because Williamson and four other bishops were not kicked out of the church for their views, but rather because they were consecrated by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre without papal consent. But I have to ask, does that matter? Is it okay to allow characters like this in just because their extremist views were not the reason they were initially kicked out? And Williamson’s views are extreme– yes, even for the Catholic Church.
